OMHPC
Vanity article with no claim to notability Bduke 08:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. The College is notable because of its history, but its men's hockey team is nothing like notable enough for inclusion. --Bduke 08:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This should not reflect in any way the college, its opinions or attitudes due to the uncontrollable renegade faction of banal-minded, unfunny stickheads that have propagated this self-fulfilling, bloated opinion within their own team. It must be embarrassing for other residents of this institution to live with people who tarnish its name so readily in the public domain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.17.189.2 (talk • contribs).
 * Reply: Ormond College has a prestigious history of academic, cultural and sporting greatness. Whilst we admit that the OMHPC is no bigger than the college itself, we would argue against Mr. Duke's acusation of having "no claim to notability".  The OMHPC is well known and respected within the University of Melbourne College community and in the 125th year of this college's history, is poised to win back to back premierships, a notable feat. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Duke for his comments and for making himself known to us.  We took great pleasure in reading his article detailing his own notable and varied achievements. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.17.189.2 (talk • contribs).
 * Delete. I see no evidence of passing WP:ORG. 44 ghits, and none of the top ten results even mention this group. Likewise, 0 hits at gnews . This group doesn't strike me as notable, and with snippets like "Many lesser mortals have refererred to the OMHPC and its members as arrogant," the article hardly seems to be a shining beacon of WP:NPOV. Sorry, folks; I'm sure you have fun, and I hope you do, but nevertheless, Wikipedia isn't an advertising service or a free webhost. Luna Santin 09:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it Ormond College is not an institution created for the history of its administration and its libraries, which is what its previous wikipedia entry seemed entirely composed of. It is a living and breathing community of vibrant, intelligent, and funny individuals.  This article seems a more accurate representation of the sort of tongue-in-cheek spirit amongst residents of Ormond (past and present) which make that community so special. Regardless of whether they are truly serious of not, these are the sort of documents that will be included in histories of the college written in generations to come, as to reflect the attitudes and nature of those students in that time and place. The OMHPC is well known within its own community, and is undoubtedly useful for those who seek an example of college life at melbourne university. It is for all of these reasons that this article is notable and worthy of inclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.17.189.2 (talk • contribs).

 * Speedy Delete, vanity is a powerful motivator.Also note that the only comment to keep seems to have been posted by the creators. --schgooda 13:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly in a hurry, and someone show the anons what Wikipedia is not. JPD (talk) 13:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable vanity. --Metropolitan90 14:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because it's clearly something Wikipedia is not. Besides, it's cleary vanity because the user that created it is called TheJungleShark... --Deenoe 18:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The section on Weary Dunlop and the jungle shark seems like a hoax to me. Besides, he was known as a rugby player not a hockey player. The article doesn't establish its notability as a sporting team. Capitalistroadster 03:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
